What are you wearing today?

Thanks! Yep, they were a pain... and my left hand was a bit shakier! I'm going to do something nice and simple now.

lain u did a really good job!

Those are a work of art Lain!! I get feeling bored quickly but it'll be such a shame to remove that

I don't think I'd ever get bored of those Lain, they're stunners!

Aw, thank you guys!  

They are works of art lain!

Au natural. I'm uninspired and my nails are nubbies - might have to do false for 2 weeks or the blog

Just catching up on the last few pages and there are lots of impressive nails ladies.

I will post my latest creations tomorrow but I have finally mastered gradients thanks to Princess Sossidge

kiko bright red and kiko grass bright green - actually really like the green! and I sorted my nails out, gave them lots of TLC and have decided they are not that short and are okay to blog with  nails come in all shapes and sizes.. cannot be nailist.

Mmmm, bright red and grass green sounds like strawberry and lime to me  We all need to see short nails on blogs, it makes us feel more human and able to relate to the author x

I agree - people need to see short. Thanks Loola! the red and the green are bases for the glitter babies I bought thanks to Fell Runners blog post!

Loola, a while ago you posted about an Art Deco polish you bought - I think it was called Iridescent Butterfly Wings. I've been debating whether to buy it for a while now and was just wondering what your thoughts were on it as a brand?  

Thanks.

I only have the one Artdeco Baba, and my initial thought when it arrived was that it was a small bottle for the price. It needed several coats as it was very sheer, but could easily have been layered over something had I had more sense. It is a very pretty colour, definitely spring or summery though, it may look a bit pale on pasty winter complexion.
Am I glad I bought it? Yes. Would I buy Artdeco Again? Only if it was a unique shade (like IBW) and it was on offer.
Hope that helps Baba x

I agree - even though I can grow my nails long fairly easily not everybody wants or likes long nails, for all sorts of reasons. And I'd much rather look at (and have myself) smart, well shaped short nails than wonky long ones  

I agree on the short nails, that's why I like the Nailasaurus. Mine are quite short too. I always get a bit at blogs with ridiculously long and perfect nails cos I find that so unachievable!

Today I'm wearing black and white polka dots

Thanks Loola, that's very helpful.  I think I'll give it a miss unless I get a discount code or it goes in the sale.

I love that Blue Asphalt Wesker! I think I have that in my untried stash, I might fish it out and give it a bash.

heh, you can look at my blog now because I cut my nails short, lol!  Actually I really like short square nails, and I'm incredibly jealous of Nailasaurus; I wish I could get my nails that shape. My nail beds are too long and not all the same length so I have to hide behind longer nails.

On topic, I'm wearing nude dots over blue. Dots are Barry M Gelly in Lychee, which seems PERFECT for dotting
